Suellen, So sad to hear this news. We were talking about you guys at the HC-2 Reuinion and wanted to get in touch after losing contact for too many years. He was a terrific classmate, Naval officer and aviator. May he rest in peace, and may you find comfort in your grief. Fred DiBiase, Jacksonville, Florida

Suellen...still can't believe this sad news. You and Terry were definitely soul mates and the coolest people. Terry will be missed by all his navy buddies. He was a great navy officer and aviator, and an incredible human being. Rest in peace, my friend.

I was sadden to hear about his passing. He was so full of life. I remember him talking about his trip to Russia in the winter. I thought he was crazy going in the cold but he a great time. I still think of the trip when I see Dr. Zihivago. Terry always enjoyed the outdoors. I heard about his hiking experiences. He will be missed.
